The kind of "woke" research that is all but banned in the US of A. Data confirm that these drivers do not commit more infractions than whites. They just get more tickets, proving that "Driving under the influence of melanin" is a factor in traffic stops. arstechnica.com/science/2025/0 #racism #racialprofiling #lawenforcement #equity #race

“'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,' a frightening executive order from President Donald Trump’s White House Thursday takes aim at the Smithsonian and threatens to pull federal funding for content that promotes 'divisive, race-centered ideology.'

The threat to museums such as The National Museum of African-American History and Culture is real. But even more sinister is the administration’s rejection of race as a 'social construct,' which is nothing short of an expression of a belief in racial purity and white supremacy.

Even more sinister is the administration’s rejection of race as a 'social construct.'
One of the things that has Trump angry is 'The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,' an exhibit at the American Art Museum that innovatively positions nearly 100 sculptures alongside statements about scientific racism. That’s the discredited belief that there are biologically distinct races of people, with some more superior than others. The exhibition examines how artists and art objects have assisted, reflected or challenged such racist thinking since the 18th century, but Trump, in his executive order expresses disappointment that the show 'promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct.'

Holding that race is not a biological reality is not a mere view. It’s a fact, and the rejection of that fact is a key component of white supremacist thinking. Trump’s executive order claims race-centered ideologies are detrimental to our shared culture but is silent on the fact that white supremacy, which his executive order promotes, has proved to be the greatest, most deadly identity politics of them all. See slavery. See the westward expansion of the United States and Manifest Destiny."
